Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. According to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Ristolainen is "banged up", suggesting he isn't dealing with a serious injury. However, the Finnish blue-liner needs to take some time off to heal. Egor Zamula will re-enter the lineup as Ristolainen's replacement. Zamula has gone scoreless in five consecutive appearances, but he has sometimes chipped in offensively. In 47 outings this season, the 24-year-old has recorded three goals and 14 points. With that said, Zamula will only see third-pairing minutes on Thursday, and it's a tough matchup for his crew, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to make a significant impact.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
